Bury Me, Already (It's Nice Down Here): Comics on Pregnancy and Parenthood by Julia Wertz

The next installment in Julia Wertz's critically acclaimed graphic memoir series, Bury Me, Already (It's Nice Down Here!) picks up where Impossible People leaves off, with Julia returning home to Northern California, settling down permanently with her on-again-off-again boyfriend Oliver, getting pregnant, and giving birth to their son Felix in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic.

After being illegally evicted from her basement studio in Brooklyn, Julia returns to Northern California with plans to head to Los Angeles to pursue a different career path. But when she reunites with her family and rekindles a relationship with an ex-boyfriend, she discovers that her vision of the future might not be what she really wants. After a surprise pregnancy and a marriage proposal, Julia settles into quiet life in a small town. But as 2020 approaches, her world-and the world around her- takes sharp turn towards unexpected chaos. Julia's story of pregnancy, miscarriage, the pandemic, wildfires, a family crisis, a traumatic birth, new motherhood, marriage, and a life-altering event is a heart-wrenching, tender, and hilarious story of resilience, adversity, and, ultimately, love.
